Oooh, this is news we like to see, especially as sports fans. According to a reader of ours on G+ and our own Nexus 7, Google Now is apparently showing college sports scores for some users, a feature we have been begging for since the beginning. What’s odd, is that it appears to only be working on the Nexus 7 (or tablets) at this time and not phones. You also can’t go into the settings for the Sports card and add college teams at this time.

I just spent a few minutes doing college basketball score searches in Google on my Nexus 4, but was unable to see the new college sports scores card. Once I picked up my Nexus 7, though, the new cards were already waiting for me (Michigan game above). Also, once I went back into the Sports card settings, I now had Michigan and Oregon added to my list of teams even though I was denied that option on my Nexus 4.

Update: Sir @MettaWorldTroll is able to see the scores on his phone as well – as are others. Now I feel left out.

Does anyone else have an issue with Google Now saving the teams you pick in settings? I keep choosing all four Philly teams, but it only saves the 76ers (the team I care about least). The scores/schedule is what I want to see most, and it’s the one thing that doesn’t work. Anyone else have this problem or know of a fix?

This is on a Galaxy Nexus Android 4.1.1.

Has anyone gotten this to work on a Google Apps for Business account? I’m not able to get any college scores to show up on my Nexus 7 or Galaxy S3. Thanks.

Ya I actually noticed this on my GNex 3 days ago and thought nothing of it. No interest in college sports.

Christopher Riner

Yup. Verizon nexus, the redheaded step child.

Has anyone been able to get a “state” school to show up? Seems like everyone here is getting “Michigan”, “Kansas”, etc

Worked like a charm on my GNex! Just searched for Kansas Basketball thru Google Now and the card popped right up! Been waiting for this forever! Thanks Google!

This is what worked for me on my Verizon GNex and Moto Xoom Wi-Fi. With the exception of Kentucky Basketball as the search term.

Not seeing it yet on my S3 or N7 but props to Kellex anyway for showing Michigan some love. I may not be an Android fanboy, but I’m definitely a Michigan fanboy. It’s been nice to have a basketball program again for the last 3 years after spending nearly a decade in the Abyss.

Zeller and Oladipo are really good, though.

Jeremy Martin

Ohio State did.

BrianRoskamp

Me too. It’s good to see another Razr owner / Android fan. Go Blue!

So how do we go about getting these? Just keep searching for your college team on Google? Because I can’t add the teams in settings.

They’ve shown college on mine for weeks. Also wager on soccer: LA liga, EPL, series a, etc. Always shown those as well.

I barely started getting Bundesliga scores like a week ago

Paul

BRING THIS TO PHONES!!!!

Kane Stapler

I tweeted you guys with this a week ago. Been working on my phone since that night. Pretty good at keeping the scores up to date within a minute or two of scoreboard time.

In the future, drop us an email heh. We miss Tweets a lot.

Kane Stapler

It doesn’t sync with devices yet. You have to actually search “Alabama Basketball” through google now on the device

Brent Thomas

Mine did sync searched on n7 and then checked gnex I have current score.

The “every college sports fan” video comes to mind here where both Michigan and OSU guys say, “nobody cares what you think”

NEED THIS to be working on my phone. By March Madness would be great. Before football season returns would be acceptable.

As long as I can get my Oregon State in there before football season starts, I’ll be happy. Yeah, I root against your team during Civil War. It’s an Oregonian thing.
